Advantages of Selling Your Home Yourself in Houston

Most people think you need an agent to sell your home, but we want to prove otherwise. We want to share with you the advantages of selling your home yourself!

The first one might be a bit obvious, but….

NO COMMISSIONS!

Real estate agents can charge 6%+ upon the sale of your home, even if you end up selling the home yourself. This is in addition, to the agent fees, administrative fees, marketing fees, photography costs, etc, etc. When you sell your home directly, you will save yourself THOUSANDS.

Sure you will have to do the work of advertising and showing your home, but when you are moving into a new house, having that additional cash can save you a ton of stress! There are always additional costs when you are moving, that’s just life. And keeping some hard earned money in your pocket will make everything go smoother.

You Run The Show

You don’t want showings this Saturday? Ok, don’t schedule any. When you are working with an agent, often times they will be the one calling the shots. Of course, you are ultimately the owner, but if you hire an agent to sell your home, (hopefully) they will do their job and bring lots of people to see it.

This means weekend showings where you will be asked to leave, evening showings, etc. All of these can occur at the drop of a hat, so you will have to keep your home in tip-top shape while it is on the market.

Your Terms, Your Way

An agent will always be looking at what they can make off the sale of your home. This means they may stand firm on the price in situations where you might be open to negotiation. Even if you are eager to sell, an agent is always going to be trying to make as much as possible. Will they really have your best interest at heart when so much money is laying on the table?

In addition, you can decide all of the dates. When the new homeowners can move in, when you have to be out, when you close, etc.. You can set the terms as to what you will fix, what you won’t, and how much you are willing to spend to fix things. When you choose to sell on your own, you call the shots when it comes to the contract, without any influence from an agent who may only have their best interest in mind.

Few Cash Sales Fall Through

As they always say in real estate, “cash is king.” If you are able to find a cash buyer for your home, you will save ample time and money. Closings typically take only a couple weeks as opposed to a couple of months when you work with a bank. Plus you won’t be waiting for your buyer to secure financing. A cash buyer will pay directly, without any red-tape from the banks. These deals rarely fall through and you end up saving a fortune on repairs, staging, and other sales related expenses.

Selling your home yourself will save you time which equates to money saved. Think about all the extra cash you will save on taxes, utilities, insurance and the mortgage by selling your home faster! While a cash offer might be lower than what you would list it for, many times you end up with more money in the long run after all of the fees, commissions and other costs are taken out. Not to mention the stress and headaches of having your home on the market. (imagine people driving by constantly some even peeking in your windows! It happens!)

“We had been trying to sell our house for 3 months without success…”

We bought this house last year and have very little equity. We did not want to leave Houston but were forced to when a major oil service company reduced the workforce and had set our repatriation date back to Indonesia. The house wasn’t selling and we didn’t know what to do, we only had 8 days before we had to leave! Our friend told us about D&G Smith Properties so we called George and Dina. They set everything in motion and we closed on the sale of the house the day before we had to leave! We can go back to Indonesia without any unfinished business or continuing expenses from the USA.

“Quite often investors are willing to pay cash for a home and with the recent tightening of financial restrictions, coupled with the growing number of complaints about low appraisals, having a cash buyer has become even more appealing.”

Forbes
